Answer 1

The verb in the above choices, that agrees with its subject is letter B: Some students at the library are meeting to study. Verbs are simply known as the ‘action’ words – may it be mental, physical or mechanical. When verbs are paired with auxiliaries (helping verbs), they are known as verb phrase. These helping verbs always go first before the actual verb.
